  • Plug-Ins for Logic Express 9

    Does anyone know of any sites where one can download plug-ins for Logic Express 9 (either for free or for purchase)? Also, I know that one can use sound fonts (.au) with GarageBand --do these also work in Logic Express 9 and, if so, do they need to be reinstalled for Logic or do both programs read the same source files?
    Thank you!

    To piggy back on previous posts, I would definitely pursue Native Instruments. While some may of the plug-ins may seem a bit on the pricey side, you will certainly get your money's worth. If you're looking for strong lead and bass sounds, I would encourage you to check out Massiv - it's my go-to plug-in of choice. I believe there is even a limited demo to try if you want to play around before purchasing.
    Hope this helps.

  • Feeling Ripped Off - Logic Express 9 Upgrade Issue

    Hi, I have been using Logic Express 8 for about a year. I just bought the upgrade for Logic Express 9. I started installing it, entered the serial number and then I was prompted to enter the serial number for my Logic Express 8.
    I have since misplaced my LE 8 booklet with the serial number on the back (a bunch of stuff didn't make it to my new apartment in a move). I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought I would be able to find the serial number of my current version of LE 8 by clicking on the "About Logic Express" tab when I have the program running. However, when you click this all you get is who it is registered to (me) and the version number (8.02).
    I called technical support and asked them where I can find the serial number and they said sure, "click on About Logic Express when you have the program open and it will be right there (he also called it the splash page)." It wasn't and isn't. The tech support person said "ah yes, only the previous versions of Logic Express show you the serial number of the version you currently are running." I asked if there was anywhere else that I could find this number and he said "no."
    Solutions? He suggested I find my receipt and fax it in and get a new serial number. Impossible, I don't have the receipt. Call the store and see if they can dig it up. Let's get real. It was purchased with Xmas money in cash I got from my parents.
    Basically, I'm screwed. I have an opened LE 9 upgrade that I can't return. I have a version of LE 8 that I legally purchased and for some dumb reason there isn't a file or page or something in the program that notes my serial number.
    Not fair. I guess I have to tattoo all serial numbers for stuff I purchase from Apple to my arms on the chance that I lose a booklet. Why Apple doesn't include a file or store the serial number of the LE version you are running somewhere on the system is beyond me.
    So, I feel ripped off. Apple doesn't care. I thought there would be some way we could work this out (like printing the screenshot of the page that says I am the registered owner) but they would rather try to get another $100 out of a loyal Apple customer and force me to buy LE 9 straight up. I've probably spent about $7,000 on Apple stuff in the past 6 years. I am the definition of a loyal customer.
    Not fair.

    You didn't buy Logic Express, you merely paid for the right to use it. When you install it, you are presented with the license agreement to which you must agree.
    At the top of the agreement it reads "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE, YOU MAY RETURN THE APPLE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED IT FOR A REFUND...."
    So, try taking it back to the store and telling them you declined the license agreement and want a refund.
    You can find a copy of the Logic Express license agreement here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf

  • Logic Studio 2.0 purchased off Ebay... came with Logic Express 9 upgrade instead of full version, serial works to unlock registration but seems wrong and perhaps a loophole.  What should I do?

    I purchased what was advertised as a Full Version of Logic Studio 2 off ebay.  It ended up being Logic Studio Pro 2 Upgrade and came with a copy of Logic Express 9 upgrade which did unlock the installation.  I didn't realize it was the upgrade version til I saw the sticker in the upright corner of the box post installation.  I feel like this is a loophole and not a legitimate installation now.    Is this legit or should I acquire a full copy of Logic Express?  The seller continously tells me that it's 100% legal and legit, etc..  I have already demanded he should send me or reimburse me enough to acquire a legitimate copy of Logic Express that supports the upgrade.  Am I right in doing so?  Or is it okay to use the Logic Express 9 upgrade copy to upgrade to Logic Studio Pro 2?  Doesn't seem right.  I'm very confused and would love some advice.  Thank you in advance.

    The Logic Express 9 upgrade package requires you should own Logic Express 8 Full.... for that to be a legal use of the Logic Express 9 upgrade serial which then you could use to register LP9/Logic Studio 2.0 upgrade package using the LS2.0 upgrade serial..
    This is an apparent loophole, in my opinion, that is being exploited by the seller....
    However, when in any doubt with anything regarding possible legal issues... contact Apple directly and ask them for their advice/opinion on the matter.

  • Where can I find good organ and keyboard sounds for Logic Express?

    Where can I find good organ and keyboard sounds for Logic Express? The included sounds seem to be lacking or hard to access.

    Update: Not terribly impressed with the interface for NI's Vintage Organs from the demo download, although the sound demos sure sound good. The letters are tiny and hard to read and the whole thing feels very PC-centric. I guess a guy gets spoiled by the intuitive stuff. I think what I'll try for now is just hooking up my keyboard (Korg N1, circa 1998, about 1700 built in sounds) as a sound module and record the waveforms when I find a sound I like. I did find the EXS24 and several other software synths with some cool organ sounds after digging a little deeper. It would be good if Apple came out with another jam pack just for organs and keys, as the existing jam packs are so easy to use.

  • Orchestral sounds for Logic Express

    I purchased Logic Express believing there were plenty of orchestral samples/sounds beyond those of Garageband. I was sadly mistaken. Can anyone recommend any good orchestral VST or sound packages for Logic Express?
    Are there any that are free to download? Or purchase?
    And, what is the difference between a VST package and a garageband jam pack? Same thing but different??
    Thanks for the help to this newbie to using VST's and LE.
    AD

    Quick google tells me the difference between VST and AU (Garageband) is:
    VST is the plugin used for both Macs and PC's so there are lots 'out there'.
    AU's (Audio Units) use Mac OS X's native Core Audio. It seems that Logic can use both types, but Garage band can't (I may stand corrected as I don't use GB). The technical difference is, it seems that AU types are more 'efficiently' processed by OS X and the apple hardware - again this may or may not be true now that CPUs have moved on since the information I found on the 'interweb'. Some claim one is superior in sound to the other, but again I have no technical information that I have found to prove that.
    I guess it's sort of the same difference between AAC and MP3, Apple can use both, one is considered superior in many ways, but the other is used more by the software manufacturers. I couldn't think of a car analogy
    As to a pitiful amount of orchestral samples, yes I concur, compared to Logic Pro (which has a lot) Logic Express has about 20% of the total.
    I haven't purchased any loops/samples from a third party myself, but you can find lots of 'free' download samples by searching.
    For instance:
    http://www.macloops.com/
    or
    http://www.platinumloops.com/
    are two good places to start. You get some free samples to see if this is the kind of thing you want.
    Good luck.

  • Logic Express 7 Upgrade to Studio

    Hi
    I'm a Logic Express 7 that wants to upgrade to Logic Pro (currently Studio). I went to an Apple store today and the genius told me this upgrade, which lists on the web for 299 is no longer available because a new Logic Pro is coming out and upgrading from 7 Express wont be possible with this version.
    Are you aware of this? What should I do? Wait for a new Logic Pro/Studio to come out and buy it from scratch? I would hate to pay full price when I have paid for the Express already... the upgrade to Logic Studio from Express is still available online but at the same time I wouldn't want to upgrade to a program which will become 'old' in a few weeks..
    thanks
    J

    Garbage advice anyway: this is from the Apple store, today.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA800LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MjM5MjI4Mg&p=1& s=topSellers
    Although we'd all be happy to see a new Logic, I guess.

  • Which computer for logic express 8

    Hi. I'm looking to buy an apple computer and logic express 8. I want a laptop that is powerful enough to run a decent software for writing and recording tunes that is intuitive and user friendly.
    I heard that it is better to get a seperate hard drive to run the music software. Is this true?
    I wondered if I could get away with just buying mac book, bu t, am thinking about a mac book pro..refurbished to save money.
    THis laptop would also serve to play with photos, movies, etc.
    I appreciate any feedback.
    Also, I have ableton live, but, I wanted to get logic because Apple has great support and education now.
    thanks!

    Any computer that apple makes today CAN run Logic. The performance will depend on how much you want to do with it. I haven't pushed my system enough yet, but from what I've seen on the forums, the point where resources start becoming a problem for the macbooks/imacs/minis is around 20 tracks with heavy use of plug ins.
    Of course, actual performace is debateable, but based purely on specs, I see three or four main differences between the new MacBooks and the MacBook Pros that you can get refurbished today:
    1. The Pro has a bigger screen. Working on a MacBook myself, I can tell you that the smaller screen gets frustrating sometimes. I'm thinking of getting a separate monitor for when I'm working at home.
    2. The Pro has a better graphics processor. This will improve performance some, but the difference would be more noticeable in more graphics intensive application like games rather than music production.
    3. The Pro has more RAM out of the box. That said, RAM is cheap if you don't get it from Apple. It's also a pretty easy upgrade to do yourself. Instructions can be found in the Support section and are pretty good. I upgraded my mid-tier MacBook to 2GB for under $50. You can upgrade the new MacBooks to 4GB for under $100. The cheapest of the refurb Pros comes with 2GB RAM, but it's unclear whether you can upgrade to 4GB.
    4. The Pro has 2 firewire ports, one of which is FW800.
    Of these 4 main differences, the only one I see as a deal breaker is the screen size. When I was buying last summer, I, personally, couldn't justify the extra expense of the Pro.
    Regarding a separate hard drive, this is a debateable topic and just like any performance issue depends on how hard you're pushing the system. I have two pieces of advice here:
    1. Start by using the internal hard drive. If you run into resource problems an external drive may help the situation.
    2. If you do go the external route, get a Firewire drive. While USB 2.0's signal speed is faster than Firewire (480 Mb/sec vs. 400Mb/sec), it's fairly well documented that Firewire is faster in most real life applications (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewire#ComparisontoUSB) and frees up the CPU for more plug ins and/or tracks.
    Finally, while Apple is generally known for good support, many of the users on the Logic Pro forum would strongly disagree with that statement when it comes to Logic. Logic 8 was released with some fairly major bugs and there has only been one software update since its relase in September, whereas programs like iTunes seem to get weekly updates. Granted, most of the complaints come from professional studio engineers use Logic 6,8,10 hours a day who push it to its limits on a regular basis. Users like this are more likely to uncover problems than more casual users like me (and I assume you). Don't get me wrong, I'm personally very happy with Logic. I just don't want you to expect the same level of support and education Apple provides for iLife.
    Hope this helps.

  • Jam Band for logic express? Drum Fills

    Hello, I am working with a Logic 8 instructional video, Jam Band is being used to set up loops and fills. Does anyone know if that was part of logic
    express, Also are there any Drum Fills ( can't find them) with Garage band loops or Logic Express, Thanks so much,
    Troy

    Battery is not a sequencer. It does not store patterns, you have to do that in your Logic track. There are tons of samples arranged in kits from recorded samples to electronic drum kits and even special effects kits.
    Reading all of your posts, to be honest Ultrabeat sounds to be exactly what you want. To get that you need to upgrade to Logic Pro.
    Do a search Google for "Logic Pro Ultrabeat" you will find info from various sources that will help you decide.
    In Ultrabeat you can load sounds, create sounds by synthesis or samples, create patterns then put the pattern directly into a Logic software instrument region

  • EVP88 for Logic Express?

    Does Apple sell the EVP88 as an add-on to Logic Express? I would like a nice Wurlitzer, and didn't think there was one included in Logic Express.
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hey Scrap,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Nope, apple doesn't sell it as add-ons.
    You could buy a third party one (AU),
    but the price's probaly half the money
    you'd pay for a Logic Pro Upgrade.
    cheers,

  • Can i upgrade from Logic PRO 7 to Logic express 9 (upgrade version)?

    Hello
    I was about to upgrade from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio 9 when i noticed that all the fetures i need are actually now in cheaper Logic Express 9.
    So would it be possible to upgrade to Logic Express 9 from Logic Pro 7? or will it only upgrade from older versions of Logic Express?
    Many thanks
    Tom

    Hi,
    guess that's not possible. But i strongly recommend upgrading your Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. It's not that much more money, but i bet once you have the new Express version, you'll desperately miss some of the features you only have with Logic Pro/Studio.
    I would recommend to call apple support or ask a dealer to find the correct upgrade version.

  • Optimizing an iBook for Logic Express 7

    Hi guys -
    What steps can I take to ensure I get the most out of Logic Express 7?
    I already record to an external 7,200-rpm FW drive, and I've got 1GB of RAM.
    My question is, what can I do with Tiger to optimize for recording/mixing? Should I turn off AirPort? Should I switch off Dashboard (I have a utility for that)? What else?
    I use the floating CPU-I/O monitor in LE7, and it typically doesn't show either peaking too much. But sometimes I hear pops and crackles when mixing - even with all the tracks frozen (e.g. running 22 tracks of real audio, with about 10 using various AU/Logic plugins). Do pan/volume curves tax your system, too? I know you can use them on frozen tracks.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Hey b,
    I think you pretty much nail it.
    Your drive's fine, ram's ok, but if you can ($) add more, you're the only one to have profit!
    Yeah, free your system, if you don't need it when record, turn it off, more?
    if you really need for example bring down the resolution & colour from millions to thousands you can even have a login acess for audio with all those automations, just resart an bang!
    About those pops, thry to see if they're on tracks, zoom & solo tracks until you find it. Increase you buffer size to 1024 (just for mixing) for record you should be ok with 128 or 256 (never higher)! Bear in mind that record with very low buffers such 32 or 64 can sometimes add clicks and pops too.
    If they're on track a crossfade can do the trick.
    keep us posted, so we can help more.
    Best regards,
    Jorge

  • Lost registration code for Logic Express 7

    i got Logic Express a few months ago and cannot remember for the life of me what i did with the registration code so i can't even use the program. can you give me any advice on what to do? thanks much.

    If you bought it from the Apple Store, they'd have records of the purchase, and could perhaps provide you with the proper numbers.

  • Comparison Matrix for Logic Express and Logic Pro?

    I have looked everywhere for a chart that compares the features between these two products and can't find one.
    I am thinking of moving up from Garageband, and leaning toward Logic Express right now.
    Is there a comparison matrix somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Kirk

    I don't think so, but you can go to their respective Specs in Apple web-site and make one yourself.
    Basically, LE is the same thing as Logic Pro, but with less instrument/effects plugins and less audio/instrument loops content. Also, Logic Studio package has additional tools like Mainstage/Soundtrack Pro, which you may not need.
    As a sequencer and 3rd party plugin host LE is as powerful as Logic Pro.

Maybe you are looking for
